Thanks Guys!

I LOVE it! Seriously great work out. Another buddy bought a Specialized TriCross, and the LBS got a couple more in stock including a single speed.

We went to "practice" in Ohio, and learned a bunch of stuff. I've been riding at the local college cross country course, some trails, grass, gravel, pavement, one barrier, and one run up. Doing ok on the dismounts, but the remounts are something else - ouch. I did some technical single track - not fun, I just kept wishing I had my mountain bike. For smoother single track/double track it is a BLAST!

Ohio Valley CX has an active race schedule, I would like to try to race, or at least watch. In-laws in Chicago, so that might work as well.

Great fun, if you are on the fence - get one!
